Celebrate Winnipeg by giving back

This year, the Winnipeg Whiteout Street Parties are
celebrating by giving back to the community. That’s why we’ve partnered with United Way Winnipeg, to add purpose and help us create an impact within our
local community.

Every dollar earned through ticket sales at the Winnipeg
Whiteout Street Parties will be invested into the community. That means when
you pay $5 for a ticket, that full $5 (less GST) will be going to making a difference in
the lives of our friends and neighbours.

Why
United Way Winnipeg?

United Way Winnipeg are trusted experts on issues impacting
the lives of Winnipeggers. Thanks to a grant from the Province of Manitoba that
supports all fundraising and administration costs, 100% of donations to United
Way Winnipeg go to the community.

Where
will the funds be going?

United Way Winnipeg’s investments are focused in areas that
make the most significant difference possible.

True North, EDW and United Way Winnipeg identified three key
themes for investment that are important issues for our community where there
is much work to do – addiction, homelessness, and mental health. Funds will be
provided to agencies working in these important sectors, on projects and
outcomes that will have the greatest impact on the lives of Winnipeggers.

How
is it decided which agencies get the funds?

Together, True North, EDW and United Way Winnipeg chose agencies aligned with the pillars of addiction, homelessness,
and mental health. We will provide more information about specific agencies
being supported on the completion of the Whiteout Street Parties

How
will the money be distributed and by when?

United Way Winnipeg will distribute the
money to community organisations within 30 days of receiving the funds from the
last Whiteout Street Party.

Will
you track the results of these investments?

United Way Winnipeg measures and report
on results for all the funds it provides local agencies, and will monitor the
impact of funds raised through the Whiteout Street Parties. Local volunteers
lead every part of our work — Winnipeggers helping Winnipeggers.
